Companies over people, Indiana’s legislature strikes again.
another question what information do they have to lead them to ask for protection. Protection from what ground water, pollution. a drilling that deep has to have some history or has it never been tried
Question: Burning hydrogen produces water. Where do the carbon emissions come from? Or is this a hybrid plant that burns a combination of hydrogen and natural gas?
OK. I see that the plan is to turn corn silage and waste plastics into hydrogen. This is the carbon dioxide generating step. Hydrogen is a clean source for energy when burned. Unfortunately, hydrogen is also very energy intensive to produce. Yes, the hydrogen will be ‘biobased’ and produced from waste diverted from landfills but will the process take more energy to produce hydrogen than burning the corn silage and waste plastics directly?
Carbon sequestration is akin to carbon landfilling; it would be better to keep the carbon in the carbon cycle through mechanical recycling, carbon recycling, even composting (still generates carbon dioxide but helps generate soil amendment).
A lot more data and information is needed to know if this is truly an environmentally friendly project. This is similar to running an electric car on coal-generated electricity like we do here in Indiana. We (Indiana and US) need to do a better job of looking at the total system to determine true benefits and detriments.
The science behind the project needs elaboration. What happens to the CO2 long term when injected? Is there a conversion of the CO2 to CCaO3, and if so, where does the Ca come from? The exemption sounds like actual damages are not exempted, [“The bill, however, would allow property owners to sue if they suffered actual damage or suffered loss of use.”], only “perceived risk” or potential damages are barred. That suggests the exemption is protection from spurious lawsuits more than anything else. Why the bill is proposed is confusing, and needs elaboration.
Carbon sequestration pilot project. Changes the description of the carbon sequestration pilot project that is authorized under current law. Eliminates the requirement that the operator of the carbon sequestration pilot project be designated by the director of the department of natural resources. Defines “carbon sequestration claim” as a civil action alleging actual or potential infringement of, interference with, or damage to real or personal property rights or interests arising from: (1) the operation of the carbon sequestration pilot project; or (2) the actual or potential presence or migration in the subsurface of injectate from the carbon sequestration pilot project. Provides that a person may not maintain a carbon sequestration claim unless the person pleads and proves: (1) actual interference with the reasonable use of the person’s property; or (2) direct and tangible physical damage to the person’s property. Provides that a person asserting a carbon sequestration claim may not recover damages for the diminution of the value of the person’s real property due solely to any perceived risk associated with the operation of the carbon sequestration pilot project.” That seems like an overly broad protection for a new technology. I’m supportive of hydrogen power, but this kind of protection by state law is concerning.
